Neutral verification guide

Verify a broker before you fund an account

This is not a ranked broker directory and RTX5 does not endorse a firm on this page. Use the checklist to verify the exact legal entity, permissions, costs, protections and platform access that apply to you.

Why this page is not indexed yet: the previous page displayed ratings and “verified” broker claims without a published review method or current evidence. It will remain out of search results until any directory data can meet a documented, repeatable standard.

Four verification steps

Identify the exact legal entity

Copy the contracting company name, registration number, licence number and website domain from the account agreement—not from an advert, review or brand name. A group can contain different entities with different protections.

Match it in the official register

Search the regulator that applies to the entity and activity. Match the legal name, reference number, permitted services, trading names, status, address and official contact details. A licence number alone is not enough.

Read the client agreement

Check governing law, complaint route, negative-balance terms, client-money treatment, execution policy, conflicts, inactivity costs, margin rules, withdrawal conditions and what happens during insolvency.

Test operations before funding fully

Use a small amount, complete identity checks, test the platform and request a withdrawal. Preserve statements and support messages. Do not assume a polished interface proves regulatory status or financial strength.

Start with an official regulator register

The correct authority depends on your location, the legal entity and the product. The links below are examples of primary registers, not a complete worldwide list. If your market is not listed, find the national authority through a government or regulator website rather than a broker-review page.

Questions to answer in writing

Regulation

Which exact entity signs the agreement, which authority supervises it, and which activities is it permitted to provide to a client in my location?

Funds and custody

Where are client assets held, are they segregated, who is the custodian, and what compensation or insolvency arrangement—if any—actually applies?

Execution

Is the firm principal, agent or both; how are orders routed; how are slippage, requotes, rejections, stop-outs and conflicts handled?

Total cost

What are the spread, commission, financing, conversion, market-data, platform, deposit, withdrawal, transfer and inactivity charges?

Products and risk

Which instruments are offered, what leverage and margin rules apply, and can losses exceed deposits under the relevant agreement?

Platform access

Does the exact entity support RTX5, which applications are available, who provides credentials, and what functions vary by account or region?

Support and disputes

What are support hours, escalation contacts, formal complaint steps, external dispute body and expected withdrawal timelines?

Exit

Can open positions, cash and records be transferred or withdrawn, what verification is required, and which charges or restrictions apply?

Stop and investigate these warning signs

  • The website domain or contact details do not match the official register.
  • The seller pressures you to deposit immediately or install remote-access software.
  • Returns are described as guaranteed, risk-free or consistently high.
  • Withdrawals require an unexpected tax, insurance or release payment to the same firm.
  • A clone uses a genuine firm's name or licence number with different bank details.
  • Terms, fees, legal entity or complaint process are unavailable before funding.
  • Payments are requested to a personal account, unrelated company or opaque crypto address.
  • A reviewer claims universal safety based only on platform features or a demo account.

RTX5 compatibility is not a safety rating

A broker's use of a trading terminal does not establish its regulatory status, solvency, execution quality or suitability. Confirm compatibility directly with the relevant entity, then evaluate that entity independently. Features, symbols, prices and account conditions can differ by deployment.
